GUPtech released the Spooky 2026 edition of its Queen of Crow dual overdrive on October 1, 2026, in a run of 17 units, 15 blue and 2 purple1. The maker describes it as a "Super limited sparkling Spooky 2026 edition"1.
The Queen of Crow is a dual overdrive that GUPtech describes as based on the AnalogMan version of the Blues Breaker, the King of Tone1. It has two independent overdrive circuits, each with an internal switch for hard and soft clipping, internal trimpots for presence on each channel, and an internal dip switch for a high gain mode on each side1. The enclosure is a 1590BB1. GUPtech says the pedal is currently wired with 1n914 and BA283 diodes and a JRC4580 chip1.
The pedal has an onboard 18VDC charge pump, which GUPtech says removes the need to connect it to an 18VDC outlet1. Power consumption is listed at 21mA, and the maker specifies 9VDC center negative only, warning that using more than 9V will blow some capacitors1. GUPtech also notes that the pedal does not have a lot of volume, with unity in boost mode at full volume and half gain1.
"We have 17 units of this one - 15 blue and 2 purple."
The Spooky 2026 edition is listed as in stock on GUPtech's site1. 00 GBP; no US list price is given1. GUPtech says all of its pedals are made by the company in Saguenay, Québec, Canada1.
